  "No noun, verb or adjective I could use in the following testimonial will do justice to her talent. So, instead of reciting "impressive, talented,unique,skilled,inspirational,..." I'll just say...Dude! Wow!"

  "she is one of my favourite photographers on flickr and inspires me everyday. her photos can be delicate with dreamy tones, as well as 'strong' with bright colours and intense atmosphere, like her long exposures, which are just incredible and totally inspiring to me. i never though of doing it before viewing elusive.'s and i can't wait to try more. she has a huge talent and i'm happy she shares it with us. and congralutations on everything you won (and will win!) with your photography. you go girl!"

  "Breathtakingly talented, Jinna brings a fresh perspective to a wide variety of photography. Her long exposure landscapes are exotic and lovely, but its her ability to switch gears so quickly and create an exceptional portrait that leaves me most impressed. Her eye transcends any particular realm, which allows her to make great images of so many different subjects. With her new website up and running, I am looking forward to watching her young photography career flourish. What a pleasure to see that sometimes nice people DO finish first."

  "Jinna's long exposure seascapes have been a source of inspiration for as long as I have been on Flickr. Not only is she a very talented photographer but she shares the "how to" of her work with the rest of the community. This is what the Flickr is really about and Jinna is a fine example of that community."

  *The Bees Knees says:

  "Writing a testimonial for Elusive always seemed like an intimidating task to me. Because really, what can you say about her that hasn't already been said? She's talented. She's amazing. Her pictures take brilliance to a new level. Yes, yes but that's all been done. So all I have to say is her pictures mean something to me. I can't describe it but it makes my day brighter to view her stream and see the beauty she captures through a camera. It's inspiring (too cliche of a word to use in regards to her pictures). I think if every single person commented every one of her uploads, it still wouldn't be near the credit she deserves."

  Extra Medium says:

  ""Jinna only had $3.91 in her pocket sitting in front of a nondescript coffee shop playing her guitar for money when I, on my lunch break from the shoe lace factory, began singing the song she was playing. Bewilderment came across her as to why this man was singing off-key to her rendition of Stayin Alive in G-flat, but her temperament changed as the money started to pour in from the hipsters walking by. We never spoke to each other but every day that summer I would stop by and be Sonny to her Cher banging out song after song, earning anywhere between $600 to $24,500 a day in tips. It was late September when she wasn't there, and instead of singing that day, I continued to walk until I saw her with a brand new camera, photographing the beautiful Amsterdam fall foliage along the street. We talked for a while and she told me she was never homeless but rather enjoyed creating art, musically as well as photographically and found peace in sharing it with others. Her photos were as good as her guitar. This was 1971, and I hadn't heard from her until I found her here. She's just as good as she was back then, and Jinna true to her word is still sharing what she knows best. If you see her, let her open up to and let her share her thoughts. And tell her she still owes me about $26.""

  amber {in the shadow of za'ha'dum} says:

  "Jinna is an incredible photographer. I don't know what it is about Amsterdam--maybe something in the water?--but it seems to produce a lot of really young, talented photographers, and I consider Jinna to be at the top of that list. She is such an inspiration to me, and she is always trying new things and succeeding wildly, so I think she pushes every one of her contacts to become a better photographer themselves.
  
  Thanks Jinna, for sharing everything with us!"

  "Elusive's self portraits are captivating and somewhat hard to look away from. Incredible use of natural lighting, and a great deal of simplicity are relevant in almost her entire stream. Her face will be on billboards for Clinique and covers of Vogue magazine. I see amazing things being created on a daily basis by Elusive, and it's going to be awesome to watch where she goes with photography. Near the top of my 10 favorite photographers on Flickr... and hey, who doesn't want a friend that lives in the Netherlands!?
  
  Keep a close eye on this one. This is the next Rebekka."
